You forgot Tyler Johnson of the Lightning as first time all star. Also Victor Hedman in the snub department, even though he missed time he still played 25 games and has 20 points. When did each team get to send a player??

Thanks for pointing that out, not sure how I missed Tyler Johnson as a first time All-Star, he is only in his second season after all. As for Victor Hedman, the only reason I did not consider him a snub was because every team has at least one representative, and I thought that Steven Stamkos and Tyler Johnson were the stand outs for TBL. Both Stamkos and Johnson have played 44 and 43 games totaling 41 and 46 points respectively. Victor Hedman is a great D-man and could very well be a Norris contender if he keeps his play up, but I can understand why he did not get the All-Star nod given his injury, the one representative per team, and the other defensemen in the All-Star Game.
